"This is not an official Google project, and Google provides no support for it."

I guess the intended message here is "We don't promise to maintain or update this or fix your bugs/issues/concerns", but it seems weird to say it's not an official project when it's on Google's namespace

There are a lot of projects in the google namespace that are just experiments by employees. Being there just means "done by someone affiliated with google", not "officially supported or endorsed". A bit confusing sometimes, but that is how it is.

This might make it easier to use Google Web Fonts in offline environments.

The fonts were always available in a repository format: https://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/

There has been an AUR package for the fonts since 2013-04-27: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-google-fonts-git

Why?

Git seems like a poor choice for publishing already compressed assets like fonts. Just include the font files you need in your offline applications.
